But the days of being a half-assed link builder are over, and you'd better know what you're doing if you're going to take over responsibility for link building for another company's website. The tricks you could rely on are gone, and I take no satisfaction in seeing so much of what I've preached come true over the last 17 years. It's always been pretty obvious to the best link builders anyway, and I'm not pleased at all...
